Jeremiah 52:24-30
Lexham English Bible
24 Then the captain of the guard[a] took Seraiah the chief priest,[b] and Zephaniah the second priest,[c] and three keepers of the threshold. 25 And from the city he took one high official who was chief officer over the soldiers,[d] and seven men of the king’s advisors[e] who were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander of the army who levied for military service the people of the land, and sixty men[f] of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city. 26 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard[g] took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27 And the king of Babylon struck them down and killed them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah left from its land.
28 This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar deported: in the seventh year, three thousand twenty-three Judeans; 29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred and thirty-two persons[h] from Jerusalem; 30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard,[i] deported seven hundred and forty-five Judean persons;[j] there were four thousand six hundred persons[k] in all.

New Living Translation
24 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took with him as prisoners Seraiah the high priest, Zephaniah the priest of the second rank, and the three chief gatekeepers. 25 And from among the people still hiding in the city, he took an officer who had been in charge of the Judean army; seven of the king’s personal advisers; the army commander’s chief secretary, who was in charge of recruitment; and sixty other citizens. 26 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, took them all to the king of Babylon at Riblah. 27 And there at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon had them all put to death. So the people of Judah were sent into exile from their land.
28 The number of captives taken to Babylon in the seventh year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign[a] was 3,023. 29 Then in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year[b] he took 832 more. 30 In Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year[c] he sent Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, who took 745 more—a total of 4,600 captives in all.
